Rock Climbing in Huaraz at Los Olivos Crag
From €76 per person
See availability →Rock climbing in Huaraz at Los Olivos, a sport-climbing crag near the city: single-pitch routes for beginners and intermediates with a certified bilingual instructor.
Rock climbing in Huaraz begins with a chat with your instructor about what you have climbed before. You then fit the harness, helmet and climbing shoes and get comfortable in them, ahead of the trip to Los Olivos, a well-known crag just 15 minutes from the center.
The session is aimed at beginners and intermediate climbers curious about sport climbing on single-pitch routes close to town. Getting to the wall takes a 30-minute walk, or a quick collectivo or taxi if you would rather ride (ticket covered). Beneath the rock you pick up technique, safety habits and how to handle the gear, and then tackle 4 to 7 routes in 2.5 to 4 hours.
Each route is chosen for your level, beginning at the 4th grade of the French scale, and people in good physical shape can often attempt 5th grade the first time. The wall looks out over the Cordillera Blanca. To get back to Huaraz you again walk or take a combi or taxi.
